Three plaintiffs, including Reza Shamirani, Ali Zolfaqari, and Razieh Qodrati, who filed the legal complaint, presented their testimonies.<\/p>\n<p>The central message emphasized the unwelcome presence of a regime with a history of executions and sponsorship of terrorism at the United Nations. Organizers stressed the need for accountability and justice for crimes committed by the Iranian regime. Zolal Habibi from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCRI<\/a>\u2018s Foreign Affairs Committee condemned Raisi\u2019s visit, highlighting the international community\u2019s failure to hold him accountable.<\/p>\n<p>The press conference addressed Raisi\u2019s involvement in the 2019 and 2020 crackdowns on protesters, exposing the high number of executions in Iran, including political prisoners, minors, and women. Concerns were raised about the influence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/articles\/2023\/04\/irans-regime-irgc-a-state-sponsored-terrorist-organization\/44858\/\" rel=\"\">IRGC<\/a>) in Raisi\u2019s delegation, with warnings about key members tied to the IRGC and the Quds Force entering Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>Reza Shemirani, a former political prisoner, expressed shock at Raisi\u2019s invitation by Swiss authorities and questioned the motives behind the visit. He highlighted the contradiction and alarming human rights situation in Iran. Shemirani believed Raisi\u2019s potential cancellation of the trip might be influenced by fear of legal consequences, citing the case of Hamid Nouri.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53554\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53554\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/news\/2023\/12\/press-conference-in-geneva-urges-un-prosecution-of-ebrahim-raisi-for-involvement-in-1988-massacre\/53422\/attachment\/geneva-press-conference\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-53554\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53554 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Geneva-press-conference.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"494\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Geneva-press-conference.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Geneva-press-conference-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Geneva-press-conference-768x379.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53554\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Geneva, press conference<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ali Zolfaqari, another former political prisoner, shared his experiences and determination to prevent Raisi\u2019s entry into Switzerland.

Zolfaqari stressed the complaint\u2019s objective: to arrest and prosecute Raisi for crimes against humanity and the mass killing of political prisoners.<\/p>\n<p>Razieh Qodrati, a former political prisoner and Swiss resident, emotionally recounted her harrowing experiences during the <a href=\"https:\/\/iran1988.org\/1988-massacre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a> in Iran.
